Ban Jian Kueh (面煎糕) aka Peanut Pancakes (1)

This is my hubby's favorite snack and I wanted to surprise him after a long day's work, so when I spotted the recipe from My Mind Patch, I decided to give this recipe a shot. Reading through the recipe seemed quite easy, just that it needed quite some time for proofing (100mins in total). I did the QQ Glutinous Pancake and replaced with my own creation of peanut filing. I felt challenging with swirling the batter all over the pan and not able to spread round the wall of the pan. For the 3rd pc of pancake, my batter was just enough on the centre of the pan and I felt it was much easier to fold half. Overall, it was a great experience for my 1st try. 

This snack is best to be consumed warm.

6. When the pan is hot, pour in the batter. Swirl the pan a few rounds to give an even spread round the pan.
7. Close and lock the pan to cook the pancake for about 12-15 mins. Lower the heat to lowest after 5 mins.
Shift the pan every 2-3 mins to ensure even heating. (The pancake is cooked when the edge pull away from the wall of the pan).
